STARTING PROCEDURE
If you start the engine inside a building, open the doors fully to
ensure adequate ventilation. Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, an invisible, odourless, but highly toxic gas. Inhalation
of these gases may cause unconsciousness and death.
1. Check that the parking brake is engaged.
2. Depress the clutch pedal and put the gear lever in neutral.
3. Switch the ignition to position D.
4. Check that the warning indicator of the parking brake lights up.
5. Check that the oil pressure warning symbol in the master display is lit.
6. Check the operation of the fuel gauge and the coolant temperature gauge.
7. Check that the glow system warning lamp is off.
8. Without pressing the accelerator pedal down, turn the ignition to position S. If the
engine does not start; the key must be released after 10 seconds. Then wait 10
seconds and try again.
Note:
The vehicle is equipped with start protection. If the gear lever is in neutral, the
starter motor will not function.
If the engine is running, the engine speed may not be increased before the oil
pressure warning symbol has extinguished.
Note:
Depending on the coolant temperature measured by the electronic unit, it is
possible that, in extremely cold conditions, the maximum engine speed is limited for
a specific period of time.
